Prajna students perform Hayagri:va Puja

On the last day of summer holidays, the occasion of Hayagri:va Jayanti, Prajna children of Bay Area performed Hayagri:va Puja. With the mangalashanams of our beloved acharya the Prajna children this summer have been involved in 2 summer camps, one at Fremont and one at Sunnyvale and today they have performed Hayagri:va puja. Lord Hayagri:va is worshiped as the personification of all knowledge. "Haya" means knowledge, "gri:va" means one who holds all the knowledge in his throat. If one worships Lord Hayagri:va for mastering any particular branch or branches of knowledge, He grants it readily and sees to it that there are no obstacles to acquire such knowledge. May Lord Hayagri:va bless these children with all the knowledge they would need to start their fall classes and ensure a successful academic year. Thanks to Sheshdriji for making the photos available to us so quickly. Here is the slideshow of today's event.
